Interview Methodologies
A good interviewer uses interview methodologies and techniques that not only help him or her build rapport with the interviewee but also drive the interview in a favorable direction. This assignment tests your understanding of various interview methodologies. It also focuses on the components of statement analysis—an important skill that helps detect deceit in an interviewee’s statements
Use scholarly sources to compare any two of the following interviewing methodologies:
- Structural interviews
- Inferential interviews
- Behavioral interviews
- Cognitive interviews
Clearly define each methodology chosen and examine in what situations it may be appropriate.
Explore the components of statement analysis—a complex skill that can help you determine the level of deception in a witness’s or a suspect’s statement. Identifying deception leads one to dig deeper, investigate further, and ask more, often difficult, direct questions.
